October 6, 2001 To: Friends of the Southwest/Texas PCA/ACA www.swtexaspca.org From: Peter C. Rollins, Program Chair Subj: Area Chairs, Topics, and Local Details for our February meeting, 13-17 February, 2002. The 2002 meeting of the Southwest/Texas PCA/ACA will be in Albuquerque otra vez, 13-17 February. We plan on a wonderful time at the Albuquerque Hilton (new hotel to us) and the adjacent Fairmont by Marriott. (Full details about the place, the hotels, etc are on our web site.) Our luncheon speaker, this year, will be TONY HILLERMAN. He will discuss his (then) recent memoir about how he became a writer of a very distinctive style of fiction, the "Navajo mysteries." Many of our folks have been studying Hillerman for years; here is an opportunity to meet him and to form a personal impression of a true popular culture artist. Our web site has a full spectrum of AREAS OF STUDY for you to consider--ranging from Media and Literature to unusual topics such as "Weather and the West" or "Atomic Culture." There should be something for everyone in this tortilla stew of topics. A poster will be mailed out next week. It will explain that our deadline for proposals has been moved to 10 December. Naturally, the early birds get the best panels and most compatible company, so check out the Area Chairs on the web site and contact them instanter! They will be delighted to hear from you. If the web site does not explain itself clearly, feel free to write to Peter C. Rollins or Michael K. Schoenecke with your queries. Any complaints, as always, go to Schoenecke, our quality control officer for the last twenty years. Special bargains with Southwest Airlines and Avis Car Rentals are described on the web site......
